Updated November 3, 2026, 9:10 p.m. EST: Added confirmation of the winners from AP and other reporting.
Democratic Rep. Wesley Bell has won a second term in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, the Associated Press reports. AP also reports that Democrat Pia Dandiya won Florida’s 22nd District and Republican Rep. Carlos Gimenez won the state’s 28th District.
In Missouri’s St. Louis-based 1st District, the Fox News Decision Desk projected Bell over Republican Paul Berry III and Libertarian Tom Schmitz. Bell’s general-election opponents were distinct from the Democratic primary contest he won earlier this year.
AP reports two more Florida House winners
CBS News Miami’s election coverage reported that Dandiya has won Florida’s newly redrawn 22nd Congressional District. The network also projected that Gimenez would win the state’s 28th District.
The Florida calls reflect separate district-level outcomes under the state’s congressional map. This report does not give vote totals, margins or an election-night call time for either Florida contest.
These AP race calls are not certified election results. They do not establish control of the House, which depends on individual races across the country.
Correction: An earlier version included a Virginia race projection from a source entry containing contradictory draft text. That race has been removed pending a clean report.
